In retrospective

A sentence in the newspaper
Struck me this morning
On this eleven eleven a hundred
Someone in an army hospital
Gassed but recovering
Swore that if he got out
He would revenge the abasement
Alas Adolph did just that.
The case point is as follows
History knows not how or where
It meets The Who
whose ego has been traumatized
And is in line with
Evil and sad forces of man’s
Brushed off tenderness for
Fatherland and search
For power over others
But given the same kinds
Of political climates or
Hatred of feeling hemmed in
Or being snubbed by society
The time and place
Will come once more.

Inspired by Michael E. Ruane’s
The day the guns fell silent. Washington Post
